If anyone has been to Paros, would love to hear about your trip or places to visit?! If you've been to some of the places I've mentioned in my video, would love to hear about those too!
is this a recent travel vlog ?
@@lucymcadonald2067 Hi Lucy, no no, staying safe at home ;) this was all shot last summer. Have adjusted the title to include 2019. Also added a travel disclaimer saying that it is not a recent video and that we are staying safe at home. It just took me a while to put the video together. With more time at home, I had the time I needed to work on my travel vlogs. No excuses ;) Whether it be dreaming of a future trip or simply traveling in your mind to pretend like you’re on vacation, I hope you enjoy this video and it inspires you for your next trip whenever that may be! I can't wait until we can travel freely again! xx
I have been going to Paros for the last 10 years. All over Greece for 45 years before that. I usually stay for around 3 months at a time and I am out and about almost every day. There are so many places to go and see. Like many islands the best are away from the tourist areas. Nice little video. Both Paroikia and Naoussa are too busy for me , I prefer the smaller quieter places. Obviously I have many local Greek friends on Paros which has helped me over the years. A lot of the tourist places in Paroikia and Naoussa are owned and run by people from Athens who head back there in the winter. I love the island and have traveled almost every inch of road. I understand you can't see much in two days. Keep up the traveling, take a trip to Zanzibar, it is great. After Paros this summer my next trip is to Nosy-Be hopefully in December. Covid willing. I love Loukoumades.
@@peterhalbert1032 Wow, you have been very lucky to have visited Paros so many times and have locals to show you around. Loukoumades are the best! Zanzibar looks amazing. On my list!
First time I traveled to Paros, as an archaeology student, was 1981. Believe it or not, there were still local families living in the old part of Naoussa. Now, look at it, it is just an upscale tourist trap. Sad. I cherish the summers I spent digging with the team around Naoussa Bay. Never had a down quiet moment. Tourists looked bored and seemed to envy us. Met some great people from all over Europe, dug up a lot of artifacts and learned a lot. It beats being an influencer. :-P
i am from Greece and i am so happy i see people like you enjoying your vacation in Paros on of the most beautiful islands in Greece
Absolutely loved Paros, particularly the food! SO delicious!
We loved Paros. Went to Greece last year and Paros was a favorite. The people were really nice.
How good is Paros?! Craving Greek food right now!
@@SophiesTravelSecrets totally 💯 love Paros
i love it how your husband enjoys his food😍😍 thanks for the cool video!
Lovely video. And that lobster does look really good!
Thanks so much! Omg that lobster was YUM and it was only 40 euros if I recall correctly. Such a steal compared if we had ordered the same dish in Santorini or Mykonos. Wishing I was back there now... xx
Suite is so beautiful
LOL ..your boyfriend and the Loukoumades!😂🤣Love your video!
His reaction is priceless 😂
Great video! Thanks for tips. You’re gorgeous!
Aw thanks so much beautiful! Glad you enjoyed Paros xx
Thank you for this amazing Video, Sophie :) going to Paros in September, so I am really exited now 😄 lots of Love from Germany💕
Hi Anna-Lena, thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and hopefully you'll get to try lokumades in Paros!! I want to go back just to eat them. 😋
Thanks for the hint, I definately will🤗
@@anna-lenamaier6499 Let me know if you find it!
Loved your video! Will be going in September to Paros! Can you recommend the car rental company you used? Thanks!
Paros definitely one of our favourite islands....you need more than 2 days to enjoy this island though. Go in the shoulder season, less tourists, slightly cheaper and still great weather. Jump on ferry and explore Anti Paris, great cave to see and wonderful countryside.
Naxos also short ferry hop away......
Totally agree! You definitely need more than 2 days. Would definitely like to return and see more. Naxos and Crete are next on my list. Thanks for the tips!
Just discovered your Chanel and love it 😊 loved this video and it’s now firmly on the list ✅ thanks so much 👏👏
Thank you so much 🥰 Really glad you found my channel! Stay tuned as I will be finally traveling again in January so lots more guides to come! x
Love this, very helpful!!!
That's great to hear! Are you heading to Paros soon???
Hello! Love the video.. what month were you there? Was it too hot
Thank you! We were there in September. It was perfect.
where do you think would be a good place to stay in Naousa to be close to where you were exploring?
Great video! What time of the year were you there? And was the water warm to swim?
Thank you! It was September so just after all the crowds had gone! It was still super hot and the water was perfect!
@@SophiesTravelSecrets thank you 🙏
Hi Sophie!!! Thank you for sharing this. I will be in Paros next month to visit my boyfriend and meet his family. This is so helpful. I just want to ask you the name of the dress boutique at 6:48 in your video showing the bright colored dresses? Thank you. 😘
Aw thanks amazing. I bet they're going to share with you a lot of beautiful local spots. 💙 Unfortunately, it's been a while since I've been and did not take down the name of the boutique. Just wander around Naoussa - great area for shopping!
Great video! Thanks. Would you recommend Paros Palace Suites?
Thanks Courtney! Yeah, definitely it was super cute, had that minimal greek vibe that you're looking for and yummy breakfast. Just next time we want to stay in Naoussa as it seemed to be more hip but totally depends on what vibe you are going for. Parikia and Naoussa are only 20 minutes away from each other so you really can't go wrong.
Thanks Sophie, really helpful. Love your videos, keep them coming please
Really glad you like them! I have a whole new series coming: Australia!! Stay tuned!! 🇦🇺
Super video, both of you are so lovely to watch. Will be in Greece with my girl friend in September so which islands do you recommend please. We will have about 8 days. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the video! In September, some great islands to visit would be Milos, Paros, Mykonos, Santorini & Crete. If you only have 8 days, I would do 3 in Mykonos, 2 in Paros & 3 in Santorini OR 5 in Crete & 3 in Santorini. 🇬🇷
@@SophiesTravelSecrets Great advice. Now we have decided to stay extra 3 days and we will visit Mykonos, Paros, Santorini and Crete(11 days). Thank you!
Hello! First time watcher, as you were recommended on my home page after my Paros search. Love this video and saved it for future reference! We are heading to Greece in May and may choose Paros as one of our islands. Would you recommend staying in Naoussa over Parikia? I'm SO torn. May is in the shoulder season so my one concern is that Naoussa won't be as open since it's a smaller town. How did the two compare in types of things to do? Thanks for making this video! So helpful.
Hi Erin, so glad you discovered my channel! Both area are good so you really can't go wrong. If you're there for a few days, you could split up your stay between both? I preferred Naoussa because there was a bit more going on with chic bars / restaurants. But Parikia was very charming with smaller, more quaint boutiques. It honestly depends what type of stay you're looking for. Both areas are only 20 minutes away from each so you still have the option to experience both. ;)
Is Paros really windy in June? Heard some different things. If it is, is it still warm and nice or is it hard to be at the beaches because of the wind?
Hmmmm, we went in Sept so I wouldn't be the best person to advise sorry. Mykonos is known to be the windy island so I bet Paros can be windy too. Definitely a question for Google.
Which was you favourite beach?Going there next week
Hi Jacob, my favorite was Kolymbithres Beach because of the beautiful rock formations. The water was crystal clear! If I had to pick, I would definitely say go there. We really liked Santa Maria Beach Bar too if you're looking for a beach club / bar vibe. Key tip for the Greek Islands is that it gets windy; so it's always best to speak to your hotel or a local about the best beaches to go on that day. Some beaches will be more protected from the wind than others so def something to keep in mind. Would love to hear about your trip once you're back and if you visited any of the places I mentioned in my video! Have a great trip! Paros is awesome!
Hey Jacob, how was your trip? Which beach did you end up going to?
Thank you so much 😊 I’m going to Greece next week and my plan is to stay in Mykonos for few days and then to Paros. Is Paros cheaper than Mýkonos? How are the prices in restaurants and beach bars in Paros? Are they better?
Hi Ayca, you're so welcome! You're going to love both Islands so much! Paros was definitely cheaper than Mykonos as a whole (hotels, drinks, and food). At the popular bars/ clubs in Mykonos, the drinks average around 20
Sophie's Travel Secrets thank you so much, there is nobody to tell me this info!! 🙏 and is it true that the ferry is expensive from Mykonos to Paros, I’m looking for the prices they are like over 90€ 👀
@@aycamert1255 You're so welcome! I am here to help! Yeah, the ferry prices can be a bit pricey particularly during summer but it is the best way to travel between the islands - saves on time and you don't have to pay any luggage fees so I guess that's a plus in case you go shopping in Mykonos lol ;) Def let me know what you get up to and if you haven't already make sure to subscribe to my channel to learn more travel tips :)
Hi Ayca, it looks like some of my first comment got cut off? Strange..At the popular bars / clubs in Mykonos, drinks average around 20 euros and in Paros, drinks average around 10 euros give or take depending on where you go. Hotels were definitely cheaper in Paros for the same quality of rooms. As for food, we got the lobster pasta that you saw in the video for around 40 euros. If we had ordered this in Mykonos or Santorini, it would have been crazy expensive! Both islands are amazing. I would love to hear about your trip when you get back! Let me know where you went! xx
Hello, where did you buy your dress with flowers and your blue short?
Thank you for the comment! Oh man, I bought these pieces years ago at little boutiques in Sydney, Australia, where I used to live. If you like floral dresses for summer, Reformation has some great pieces xx
nice
Thank you!!
100% Octopus and Taramasalata dip every day!
💯
I plan to go to Paros mid august. There are many tourists or is it OK?
Hi! Summer is normally peak season in Greece but I am not too sure how it will be this summer with everything that is going on. I don't really think it will be too busy this summer so you might be in luck...I hope you enjoyed the video! Would love to hear about your trip when you are back ;) Wishing you safe travels xx

It's Paros.(A) not Peros.
Hi Alex, are you referring to my pronunciation with my American accent? Surely I didn’t accidentally misspell it anywhere?
haha Alex, I am guessing the thumbs up to my previous comment was in relation to my accent. I actually pronounce the city of Paris pretty much the same way as I do with Paros. Thus, I think it's my accent that is making you hear a "per" sound when in fact it's the way I pronounce "par." Will work on it ;)
@@SophiesTravelSecrets 🙏🏻❤🙏🏻 I'm actually looking to buy a flat in Paros as I sold my flat in Malaga. Miss the beautiful water.
@@alexb.123 Wow! Congratulations! You're going to live in paradise! xx
